Something the Dog Said wrote: Since the Democrats have taken back control of the California government, California is leading the nation in job creation
"California contributed more than 15 percent of the nation’s new jobs between October 2011 and October 2012 - adding more jobs in 12 months than Texas and the rest of the other top-10 fastest-growing states combined - while home building is bouncing back and demand for houses is increasing."

And
"Of the 171,000 new jobs the entire U.S. added in October, 27 percent were in California. And since the beginning of the year, California has added nearly 300,000 jobs, outperforming Texas by a decent margin and outpacing New York by more than 2 to 1."

Unemployment fell from the above 10 percent level that it suffered under the Republican control to the highest growth of new jobs in the country.
If we can only hang on until we get the GOP clowns out of the House, then we will see an improved economy.

I could understand objecting to suspending high schoolers, because they are nearing adulthood and better understand the non-immediate consequences of their actions, but I don't think that first graders would get the proper learning experience from suspension. Punishment for younger ages needs to be more immediate, finite, and localized (e.g. you take a cookie you didn't get permission to have, you lose the cookie and have to go stand in the corner for 15min. Making them stay home the next day(s) after doesn't process in their brains as tied to the wrong action they took).Starting next school year, it will be illegal for public schools in the state to suspend students in first through fifth grade for willfully defying teachers or administrators.
Then, from 2021 through 2025, it will be temporarily extended to kids in grades six through eight.

Does CA still have a GOP?

How in the world could this ever be constitutional? Oh yeah, these Democrats haven't read the document or they have and think they know better. Hopefully the people fleeing have learned a lesson and don't continue to vote for the people who think this insanity is ok.Blazer Bob wrote: And this would not even begin to plug the hole in their budget.
"California legislators want a wealth tax on the rich, even if they flee.
Soak the Rich Scheme
California legislators seek a Wealth Tax that applies to anyone who has lived in the state for the last 10 years."

"If you live in states like California, New Jersey, and Illinois, get the hell out now.
We did.
But please note that It Takes 3 Weeks to Escape Illinois
Why 3 weeks? That's how long it takes to reserve a one-way U-Haul outbound.
"Everyone is leaving. No one is coming," a U-Haul agent told us a few weeks ago.
